From the title and the appearance of this pre-release, I was expecting this to be an acoustic singer/songwriter project. When the CD started up I found I was wrong. This is more an alterna-pop album, with reminiscences of Sarah Masen's self-titled album popping up, and child-like female vocals sounding like a mixture of Victoria Williams and Leigh Nash (Sixpence). Instrumentally, this album mixes guitars and programmed beats with a lot of keyboard. The sound is very commercial, with quite busy arrangements providing a multi-layered backing for the vocals to fit well with. This is an interesting, and often engaging album, and it will be interesting to hear where Kane takes future albums. - James Stewart
